List,


Attached are two photos I shot of the two locations from 1977, admittedly not from the same angle. However,
they might give some idea of some of the additional area around the locations.

In the photo of westbound 3367, it has just crossed the Rockaway River bridge. The high voltage towers are visable.

In the shot with 3364, one can see that rather than the small hill visible in Steve Hepler's photo, the ground at the
curve is sloping downward. Also,at this location, that's I-80 parallel to the line. I'm sure that no high voltage lines
cross the Interstate there, which is what they would have to do after crossing the EL if this was west of
Mount Arlington.

slight telephoto effect is showing the narrow road underpass, and then the
distant guard rail is for the Rockaway River bridge in the distance, just
obscured by the bushes. Note looking under the cars the additional rail, which
would be the start of the Chester Branch. Over head wires are from the
West Wharton Sub Station just off to the left. West bound signal guards the
hand throw cross overs just behind the photographer.

be about a mile west of the Mt Arlington station:
